LJ-Genie: Twitter

[jackofallgeeks]

So, can anyone out there give me a Twitter tutorial? I've been meaning to
try it out, it seems interesting, but I don't really 'get' it. How do you
send tweets? Via the web, or sms messages, or what? Where do they go, or
where can they go, and how do you get them there? How can you read
other peoples' tweets? Do you have to be at the website?

I use a small app that's part of my KDE desktop. It displays the last 2 tweets from those that I'm "following" (in Twitter parlance), and gives me a space to type my own tweets. In the morning I fire up a web browser to catch up on the tweets that have passed by in my sleep.

If I were in the states and had free texting, I think the SMS service would get along very well with me. That is, aside from the few times that people mistake it for IRC and flood the crap out of it.
